      Yeah I found this meme bit misleading, but I also got a good chuckle out of it since this is very relevant to me.

      I’m not a native English speaker but since I learned English earlier in life than German I still get confused about this in a real/fast conversations.

    We have a similar one where the pronounciations are flipped in Norwegian.

    Cook(as in chef) = kokk

    Cock = kukk

      We’ve got !chinese@lemmy.world but unfortunately I’m not patient enough to learn it.

      Maybe one day I’ll try to learn a few sentences to impress my chinese colleagues!
